Tips & Warnings
International phone numbers here include the U.S. international prefix "011." When calling internationally outside the United States, substitute that "011" with "00."
All country codes are within parentheses and begin with a "+" sign.
If you're traveling with an American, Canadian, Japanese, Swiss or European Union passport, you will not need a visa for visits up to 90 days.
Get a rail pass if you choose to enter Romania by train from another country. Due to the length of the trip, prices may be high otherwise.
